Dear Lazyweb,
I'm building a debian package, CDAT. The latest version 6.0.alpha uses CMAKE to build, rather than configure. The trouble is that CMake doesn't build. It doesn't even fail.
$ mkdir build $ cd build $ cmake .. ()-- Configuring done -- Generating done -- Build files have been written to: /home/amckinstry/deb-packages /cdat/cdat-6.0.alpha/build $ make $
The problem is, 'make' does nothing. A Makefile is generated by CMake, which calls cmake which calls make again on ./CMakeFiles/Makefile2 ... which does nothing useful. Apparently the CMake is supposed to put useful stuff in there, but doesn't. What puts stuff into Makefile2, and where should I pick up the bugs trail?

OK, Having agreed that Openid is a good idea to solve the multiple-login-issue, i've been looking at enabling it on the python-based projects I work with. Harder than it looks, for no apparent reason.
Firstly, I've succeeded in enabling an Openid Server in my Pyblosxom blog. Just google to pyblosxom+openid+server and install. It works. Now I can log into openid sites with my blog address http://blog.sceal.ie.
Alternatively, I can openid-enable the comments login on the blog by installing the openid comments plugin. Unfortunately this seems to conflict with the server above, and both seem to conflict with Debians python-openid. All three seem to have a common original codebase that has diverged, but I haven't had time to do any software genealogy and figure out which codebase is out of date. Any ideas anybody ? (other than emailing everyone involved).
Secondly, I'd like to share the logins with my MoinMoin wiki. Again, a patch has been written for this, but to share the logins between pyblosxom and MoinMoin will need co-ordination. My current plan is to try and get all related openid sites to share /srv/www/openid-store on the server to share identities. This'll need patches, and probably justify making Debian packages out of the plugins.
Finally, I'm working on a Plone website for IFAS, for observation tracking and co-ordination (see aop.irishastronomy.org and aop-test.irishastronomy.org if you're interested). Here, all the users already have logins on a related system in PHPBB on a different host. It would be nice to integrate them : query the SQL database on the PHPBB site? give them openid identities from the PHPBB machine?
